Additional Information from the Workshop Program Director:
Award Opportunities – This opportunity provides participants with a classroom instruction and
hands-on opportunity to learn more about why helicopters and UAVs behave as they do during
flight operations. Workshop participants will construct and flight test (wind tunnel and outdoor)
radio controlled coaxial helicopters, and compete in an obstacle course using the coaxial
helicopters and VTOL aircraft that they build. Two human power helicopter test fixtures will
also be used for experimentation, to maximize lift over drag. Participants will also have an
opportunity to network with aerospace leaders, and professionals, tour manufacturing and
engineering facilities, and may have the opportunity to experience a 1-hour helicopter ride
during this unique training experience. Local transportation, lodging and food are included in
the workshop.
As part of your application narrative, please consider the following questions:
 How will this workshop enhance/contribute to your long-term academic and career
goals? (one paragraph)
 What is the purpose of a helicopter tail rotor?
 Explain the purpose of the K-max helicopter
